Pendleton Attacks Set-Aside Program
b\ Jerry darner
contractor*.
Although President Reagan's record
is considered by many to he insensitive
to minorities in areas o f civil rights, the
President through the White House has
reaffirmed his support for the minority
Set-Aside program
The ment o f the program was also
defended by Ralph C Thomas III,
Executive Director o f the National As
sixiation o f M inority Contractors
(N \M < >
Thomas said on the McNcil/Lehr
News Hour that the federal program has
been a boom in getting minority and
women contractors in (he mainstream
o f ihe American marketplace "
Thomas agreed with Pendleton that
there is a problem with Ironl or sham
businesses in the program, hut hr disag
reed with Pendleton's assertion lhal 26
percent o f those m inority-ow ned
businesses in the Set Aside program are
Iron! or shatn Thomas said suspending
Ihe program lor a year isn't the way to
address the program
" I h e Defense Department wastes
billions o f dollars each year in fraud
Bui no one has recommended suspend
ing the Defense program tor a year."
said Thomas. Thoms said suspending
the program would "send the wrong
signal to cities and stales starting their
own minority husnx-ss enterprise prog
ranis."
Clarence M Pendleton. Jr . Chair
man o f ihe U S Communion on C ivil
Hights, said the Set Aside program
which reserves money or contracts for
businesses owned by Hlatks, His
panics. and women should be sus
pended for one year
Pendleton said the minority Set-
Aside program has not been effective
and has been marked by " rampant cor
ruption and fraud" He said the prog
ram has benefited only wealthy minor
ity contractors
The federal Set Aside program is
carried out under laws passed by Con
gress and under Executive orders o f
three ,‘rcsidents la st year $5 billion
was awarded to minority businesses
under Ihe program The program helps
minority business procure federal con
tracts.
Pendleton said at least 26 percent o f
ihe minority businesses are "fro n t o r
ganizations" or "sham firm s ", which
benefit larger White owned businesses
Pendleton's view is shared by the As
sociated General Contractor (AG C ), a
Washington based highway construe
tion lobby group
AGC claims the Set Aside program
to minority businesses has increased the
cost o f government; has bankrupt many
White-owned businesses, and dis
criminates against smaller While sub

nance which led to tlx* creation o f
PIIAC he believed that the law pros ides
PIIAC the power to subpoena witnes
ses, including police officers
" I believe that PIIAC should have no
greater nor lesser powers than granted
lo it by la w ." said Bogcl Commis
sioner Bogcl said that his anti is to in
sure that all ol us follow precisely the
provisions o f the City cixJc previously
.xloptcd by Counc il and alfinncd by the
voters in the general referendum
The ruling was a hitter defeat lor
Chief Penny Harrington and the Port
land Police Aswxiatmn Both the Chief
and Ihe Assixialion argue lhal PIIAC
